chained_bear Hmm. I've heard it most commonly pronounced "chor-EE-zo." Without the pizza effect.

qroqqa An unusual pronunciation seems to have arisen in Britain: [tʃəˈrɪtsəʊ], as if influenced by 'pizza'. (But why the short i?) I've heard it often enough now that I can say this is the usual pronunciation, at least in my bit of London. The Spanish would normally give [tʃəˈriːθəʊ] in English, which is how I say it, or at least [tʃəˈriːzəʊ] or [tʃəˈriːsəʊ]. Mar 2, 2009
